Origin
Summary
In support of the City's Vision Zero Road Safety Plan, Transportation Services is requesting approval to alter the roadway at the intersections of Danforth Road and Warden Avenue, Danforth Road and Birchmount Road, Danforth Road and Kennedy Road, and Danforth Road and St. Clair Avenue East. The road alterations are proposed in order to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians.
The proposed alterations include the removal of right-turn channels at the four above-noted intersections and the removal of two bus lay-bys at Danforth Road and Warden Avenue to allow for the installation of accessible pedestrian signals (APS) at these intersections.
As the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) operates bus service on Danforth Road, City Council approval of this report is required.
The work would be completed in 2019 in conjunction with road resurfacing on Danforth Road from Danforth Avenue to St Clair Avenue East.
